David Sanborn at The Floridian

David Sanborn in Ft Lauderdale

At the end of the jazz cruise, we ran into David Sanborn on the way into The Floridian - the best diner in Fort Lauderdale, where all the locals go. Pictured here, left to right: Claudia Krikorian, Lisa Kato Fitchett, Jim Hale, Dorothy Axelrod, with David Sanborn (center).

Marcus Miller and The Axelrods

Marcus Miller with friends Ron and Dorothy Axelrod

Will the real Marcus Miller please stand up?? Ron grabbed Mark's hat for this fun snapshot. Marcus Miller is very gracious and is friends with the Axelrods. He's got some great stories about what it was like starting out as a 17-year-old studio musician in New York City, the recording session where he met pianist Richard Tee, working with Barry White, and producing Miles Davis's Tutu album. --The Daily Fitchett, 1/27/11.

After a semi-arduous journey through narrow caves and grottoes, we found ourselves on the beach of the Virgin Gorda "Baths", British Virgin Islands.
